New Delhi
New delhi at three a.m.
Just arrived by k.l.m.
Left the airport in the heat
In the bus strange people meet
Driving through the starless night
Passing very unusual sights
Left the bus at five to five
Caught a taxi started to drive
He thought I was a millionaire
And accordingly put up the fare
Dawn was breaking in the east
Causing this hot night to cease
Mosquitos buzzing in my ears
Grating sound of clashing gears
Burning rubber filled the air
Taxi driver began to swear
The heat was burning my head was turning
It was then the car broke down
Just on the outskirts of town
A camel from the dhrangadhra

Believe Me
Everything that I tell you, girl, every word that you hear
Every little whisper, let me make myself clear
There aint no lies to deceive you, I love you too much for that
Every word that I say is true, you can believe me on that
My friends tell me jealous lies
Now Im getting my goodbyes
Life without you, my dear
Was dull, as dull as can be
I ask you, my love, why not take me now
Not to leave me in misery
Saxophone!
If you take in all they say,
I guess Ill be on my way
Please, my darling, its not true
I dont know this girl called sue
Sues a name I have not heard
I lost my girl from that one word
Will she come back, I just dont know
And Im takin a heavy blow, oh
Ive got myself together

Thats The Way To Do It
Now Ive been here and Ive been there
And Ive been almost everywhere
Theres not a thing I cant repair
Cos Im stan, yes I am,
The odd job man
Im a tradesman, I know all the tricks
Theres not a thing that I cannot fix
Beginners use my concrete mix
Im stan yes I am, the odd job man
Well, thats the way to do it
Just be as quick as a flash
Dont hang about
Just in and out
And always ask for cash
Any job that you want done,
Phone me up cos Im the one
Electrical, plumbing, woodwork too
Ill do the job thats right for you
Well, thats the way to do it
Just be as quick as a flash

Pac-a-mac
I wear my cap with pride
When swaying side to side
Indoors where it be crude
Too late to find me shrewd.
I never lay in doubt
When walking from about
At home where it be warm
Youre sound asleep unborn!
Im a small chap
Walk tall chap
When it rains
Cats and dogs
From my pocket I pick a pac-a-mac.
Inside a rubber wall yelling
Screams echo, off the ceiling.
My love could penetrate
So Ill leave you now prostrate.
My fag smoulders out and out
And odours waft there about
So I give my head a kip

That's The Way To Do It (aka Odd Job Man)
Now I've been here and I've been there
And I've been almost everywhere
There's not a thing I can't repair
Cos I'm Stan, Yes I am
The odd job man
I'm a tradesman, I know all the tricks
There's not a thing that I cannot fix
Beginners use my concrete mix
I'm Stan yes I am, The odd job man
Well, thats the way to do it
Just be as quick as a flash
Don't hang about
Just in and out
And always ask for cash
Any job that you want done
Phone me up cos Im the one
Electrical, plumbing, woodwork too
I'll do the job that's right for you
Well, that's the way to do it
Just be as quick as a flash

Mrs Hutchinson
Well mrs. hutchinson, youre looking healthy (huh)
But just in case,
Heres a pill a remedy.
Well mrs. hutchinson, this is something,
That little upset, I thought Id diagnosed,
Well not to worry, its not what I supposed.
You better sit down son your mothers very ill (ah)
We may have to operate its more than just a chill.
But dont you worry, its all in competent hands,
We believe its under the ribs or one of the glands.
Well mrs. hutchinson, eat up your breakfast (come on)
Dont smoke, it stunts your growth,
Stick to your diet, lets hope that youre insured.
(come on eat your breakfast !)
Well mrs. hutchinson, you must be very pleased to know youre leaving here.
Were going to miss you so (hold on)
Here comes your son again.
Are you thirsty son, I think youll need a drink.
Theres been some complications, shes very near the brink.
I have to tell you, its my duty to speak.

Sign Of The Times
This is disposable, throw it away,
This is an animal, dont let it stray,
That was the past, so leave it behind,
This is the future, its all in our mind.
Feeding your interest, in between lines,
Reading the caring one, sign of the times,
This is your englishman, this is his lawn,
This is your female, undone and torn.
We are the people, and we really care,
We dont really look, we just like to stare,
Unprintable feelings that play on your mind
Get written in innocence, pretend we are blind.
Patience the virtue not learnt in schools
A-ha, its funny to break all the rules.
Law-breakers are broken, and so we all share
The family problems, the paper that cares
Cheapest and brightest, sexiest news,
Well make up some stories with unbiased cues.
We are the people, and we really care,
We dont really look, we just like to stare,

Are You Coming
Could it be someones telling lies
Or could it be that Im getting wise
Awoke myself from a nose-dive glide
I caught myself but youve lost all pride
Im not going with you
Wont you come on with me ?
See your world in a drift fly past
So good the feeling you want to last
Im not going with you
Would you come on with me ?
Im not here to watch day and night
Or to hear you drift out of life
If I could wake you
A moment I would
Share you my lifeline
Feed you some good
If I could wake you
A moment I would
Share you my lifeline
Feed you some (good)

Benny Bullfrog
So there I am polished heart throat in full puff
I look the part my wad is packed to reimburse.
Ive yet to re-rehearse many moons spent on lovelines lent from
Long-legged pop-eyed fat-necked benny bullfrog.
Final run-through polish up
The flower of loves my buttercup.
Moon in june for you Ill croon
Just like pop-eyed fat-necked benny bullfrog.
Mean piece of muscle Im melvin toad,
I dice with death, across the road.
Hop aboard my lovers leap
Fat-necked quatermass
Who needs a benny bullfrog.
Here she comes (keep a cool head)
My legs numb (keep a cool head)
I cant run (keep a cool head)
High! my names hunky how dyou do
I catch a fly in one swoop
I catch a fly just for you
Thats if you do want me to
